Chicken Kiev

It’s basically a chicken cutlet , in which chicken fillet is rolled around cold butter mixed with herbs and then fried or baked.

It is mostly served with mashed potatoes and sauted veggies , today I am gonna serve with herb rice .

Star Ingredient :

Amul Butter

Main Ingredients :

Chicken Fillet (4 breast pieces cut in halves in butterfly style )

Amul butter 100gm

Herbs — Few sprigs of parsley and thyme

3 eggs

Bowl full of breadcrumbs

1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper

1/2 lemon

4 teaspoon of Parmesan cheese

Bread crumbs ( take a bowl ful)

Flour for coating or according to your requirement

1/2 teaspoon of paprika

Salt according to taste

3 eggs

2 to 3 cloves of mashed garlic

Any vegetable oil for frying

Method:

The most important thing is to make a herb butter — take some softened butter mix it with fresh parsley, thyme and oregano, and mashed garlic . Put it in the refrigerator for 5 min to freeze the butter for sometime.

Meanwhile cut the chicken breasts from the middle portion slowly putting your knife through it into a butterfly shape , be careful not to tear the joint . Pound the fillet a little bit and then put in some salt, pepper and lime juice.

Bring out the butter from the frige , put it in a piping bag and slowly put the butter on the middle of the open breast fillet , then wrap it around into like a roulade. Repeat the same procedure for all the chicken fillet .Keep it on the fridge for a half an hour.

Prepare the coating with beating the eggs in one bowl, mix some paprika with the flour on another , and breadcrumbs with some parmesan cheese and dried herbs ( oregano and thyme) on another plate.

Bring out the chicken roulade from the rerigerator, dust it flour, after dusting dip it into egg , then onto the breadcrumbs , it’s better if you can repeat the coating once agin with egg and breadcrumbs , so as to seal the butter inside and that there is no chance of the butter oozing out — 🙂

Put all the coated chicken on the fridge again for a period of half an hour.

Now deep fry all the chicken one by one .

You can serve the chicken Kiev with mashed potato , sauted vegetable of your choice or herb rice.

‘Cosy Crime’ is such a woolly term, isn’t it? I take it to mean something where there’s a murder, but you don’t see the blood, or where what people thought was a crime turns out to have a rational explanation (same with the ghost story really). One editor of my acatcinuqnae described cosy crime as ‘Morse in 2000 words’.
